🚧 Infrastructure, Water & Logistics

South Africa’s infrastructure requirements create both challenges and opportunities for investment, innovation and partnerships.

From resilient water and sanitation infrastructure, to ports, rail and intelligent supply chains, these issues will feature prominently at the 5th France–South Africa Business Forum.

This topic will feature during:
• Round Table 4: Water, Sanitation & Waste – Beyond “Shedding”: Investing in Resilient Water and Sanitation Infrastructure between France and South Africa
• Technical Workshop 2: Future-Ready Corridors: Ports, Rail & Intelligent Supply Chains

How can French and South African businesses contribute to building more resilient infrastructure and unlocking new trade routes?

Join the conversation on 29 September in Johannesburg.

After a day of exploring new opportunities and partnerships, join us at the Team France Gala Dinner on 30 September to continue the conversation and connect with the wider business community.

🇫🇷🇿🇦 Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari | Official Inauguration

Today, FSACCI General Manager, Erwanne MEILHOC, attended the official inauguration of Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari in KwaZulu-Natal, marking a significant milestone for the resort and for South African tourism.

Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari officially opened on 4 July 2026, bringing Club Med’s first South African resort to the country’s North Coast.

The inauguration on 17 September brought together representatives from the tourism and business sectors to mark the occasion and recognise the resort’s contribution to South Africa’s tourism offering.

For FSACCI, the opening also reflects the continued presence and investment of French companies in South Africa and the opportunities created through stronger links between the two business communities.

We congratulate Club Med on this important milestone and look forward to seeing the resort contribute to the growth of tourism and business activity in KwaZulu-Natal.

Club Med is a member of the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

🥂 The grande finale to the 5th France–South Africa Business Forum

This year, the Team France Gala Dinner 2026 will follow directly after the 5th France–South Africa Business Forum, providing a more festive setting to connect and continue business dialogue, exchange and engagement.

The Gala Dinner will bring together business leaders, members, institutional partners and guests from across the France–South Africa business community for an evening of networking, conversation and celebration.

Over the years, the FSACCI Gala Dinner has provided memorable conclusions to the years for our business community. From the Rugby World Cup-themed Gala in 2023 and the Paris Summer Games-themed Gala in 2024, to last year's celebration of FSACCI's 45th anniversary, each edition has created its own highlights and brought our community together.

Swipe through some moments from previous Gala Dinners, and get a glimpse of what awaits this year.

Following the Forum's discussions on the future of the France–South Africa economic relationship, the Gala Dinner will provide the perfect opportunity to continue the conversation in a more informal setting and celebrate the connections built along the way.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2026 Team France Gala Dinner.
